Yes i did and i thank you for that. You were right its kinda a lot more work.

Quote:All files are completely rewritten in the new image with the current active compression type.

That's why you have to switch to LZO before generating the image

Hmm ok so if set to LZO the image will be created with that compression and will not revert to LZ4. I'm i understanding this correctly? (sorry i really don't know the inner works for the filesystem and the Kernel)

Quote:You did not understand: You have to flash this image to sd-card with an image writer of your choice. I explained the procedures already in 1) 2.1) 2.2).

Sorry about my misunderstanding. I was under the impression that i had to download the default image, set the compression to LZO and then place the "backup" on the restore (is this the correct directory?) directory.

So let me see if i understand this correctly. Using the make an image option, i will get a fully flashable / ready to use image of all of my current installation (all partitions, settings etc including the boot partition). All i need is to set LZO and reboot then make the image, etc, etc , etc currect?

Two Last questions:

If i change the compression to LZO (its set as LZ4) will the system still boot? If so then:

After i re-flash the backup image and since i'm still below kernel 4.15, will the system revert back to LZ4 again or the " zswap.compressor=lzo" setting will prevent that?

Also is it a O (letter) or a 0 (zero) on LZO, and is it case sensitive?

Thank you for all the help
